The first bill to be considered under the 'suspensions' procedure in the House of Representatives today (2pm - [7pm UK time]) will be
H.Res. 354 - To recognize the year 2007 as the official 50th anniversary celebration of the beginnings of marinas, power production, recreation, and boating on Lake Sidney Lanier, Georgia (Rep. Deal – Transportation and Infrastructure)
The first electricity was produced from generators in the Buford Dam - the dam which created the lake from the waters of the Chattahoochee River - on June 17th 1957. Details of the lake and its history can be found at http://www.lakelanier50.com/index.htm
We spend a glorious three week holiday in Northern Georgia last August. This bill has my support!
